If you like meat on a stick, then you will love meat on a sword. Especially if it is all you can eat and you can gorge yourself for hours on all sorts of meats brought around to your table by fuwuyuan in what are apparently native Brazilian costumes. This is churrasco (shoo-RAS-koo) or, more simply, Brazilian barbecue.
All you can eat, or, as I like to think of it, all you can meat, deals exist in a number of forms in Chinese cities. Teppanyaki is apparently Japanese for all you can eat meat cooked in front of you on a metal grill with the occasional several foot high plume of flame which is crucial for making grilled bananas taste right.
Brazilian BBQ is cooked on long sword-like skewers – sort of like horizontal gyros – and brought around by knife wielding waiters who will saw off a portion for you. There is always a salad bar of some kind – including mayonnaise fruit salad, seaweed salad, maybe some packaged cookies – and some restaurants let you loose on beer or something stronger. It’s the kind of place a group of ten friends goes to before going to a club but after all the eating is over only four ever make it to the club.
